Mind Is a Cloud but the Heart Is the Infinite Sky

July 06, 2019 21:32 - 48 minutes - 89.1 MB

SATSANG OF THE WEEK Mind Is a Cloud but the Heart Is the Infinite Sky mooji.tv/satsang-of-the-week This talk takes us into the heart of recognising who we are, beyond belief and beyond mental understanding. Moojibaba looks with us at what it means to be free. “Whatever you perceive and whatever you conceive, whatever you aspire for, whatever you take yourself to be—all these are unstable. They are like clouds passing in front of the infinite and unchanging sky. You are more like the sky tha...

You Can't Put It Into Words — That For Me Is Eloquence

June 30, 2019 08:57 - 1 hour - 133 MB

SATSANG OF THE WEEK You Can’t Put It Into Words — That For Me Is Eloquence mooji.tv/satsang-of-the-week This Satsang excerpt takes us immediately into the depths of our introspection. Moojibaba’s guidance highlights the subtleties of the mind which can obscure our understanding, and points us to the clear light of our timeless Self. “That by whose light even the function of perceiving is also perceived… Don’t imagine—if you imagine it’s already too late. The mind is a poor and inadequate i...

God Is the 'You' You Don't Know Yet

June 23, 2019 10:24 - 2 hours - 137 MB

“In your heart, you can know God.” When a questioner comes forward to express she wants to be finished with her spiritual quest NOW, this Satsang unfolds. “Even the one who will do it must itself be given up. You want direct? I’m Mr. Direct at the moment! If you don’t have time, this is what I will tell you.” 19 June 2019 Monte Sahaja, Portugal ~ Music before Satsang: "Improvisation on Handpan" by Benno Sinkwitz Music after Satsang: "One Love" by Bholenath, performed by Bholenath & Gur...

How Can You Really Know What Is the Truth?

June 05, 2019 15:03 - 13 minutes - 25.5 MB

In this Satsang excerpt, Moojibaba invites us to contemplate one of the central dilemmas of human existence: how can we really know what is true, how do we recognise and discern the truth? Mooji points out that truth ultimately can’t just be an intellectual concept, it must relate to a deeper intuitive knowing that has the power to set us free. “That which removes the fear of death and even the fear of life also — that is true. This is the truth that I pray we all discover, a truth without ...

We Are Here To Discover The Wordless One

May 30, 2019 10:10 - 1 hour - 111 MB

In this clear and direct Satsang excerpt, a questioner steps forward to express that he feels that, despite years of spiritual seeking, he is still in an in-between state, not totally crossed over into freedom. Moojibaba uses this question to guide us into a clear seeing of what is here and now, in the heart of our being. “You are here, I’m not asking you to turn to the left or right, or do anything at all. Just in your natural awareness of yourself as being here… what is this ‘here’? Not o...

Mooji - The One Who Is Awake Knows You Are the Self

March 24, 2019 18:45 - 20 minutes - 36.8 MB

A questioner reports with great enthusiasm to Moojibaba about discovering that everything is observable. Mooji takes this opportunity to speak of the human evolution into its highest destiny—the enlightened state and the importance of the urge for freedom. “We live comforted by the apparent known when all the while, you are the unknown, unendingly existing. There is no urgency to wake up unless there arises in you, an urgency to wake up to the greater truth of yourself.” ~ Excerpt from "W...

Mooji - We Are in God's Boot Camp

January 09, 2019 17:35 - 27 minutes - 50.4 MB

Moojibaba gives an inspiring speech to some visitors about freedom and the importance of reaching the peak where you feel intolerant about your own ego. Because it is that level of intensity, that triggers real chance. “The minute the ego gets exposed, that is the beginning of your healing. The healing that will lead to your awakening.” Music: "Who You Are" by Prem Recorded on 11 October 2018 Monte Sahaja, Portugal

"Help Me to See Things As They Are"

January 07, 2019 16:23 - 46 minutes - 84.3 MB

A deeply clarifying talk takes place between Moojibaba and an intimate group. They speak unreservedly of their seeing and Moojibaba offers pointed and appropriate guidance that serves to refine and strengthen a deeper understanding. "The further out you go to try and look for answers, the more erratic the state becomes. So catch it at the very first activity to arise. In the end, there is no knowledge to be kept. The knowledge just serves as a mirror to show you your true place. You're going...

Life Is Full of Unexpected Brilliance — Be Open to See It

January 07, 2019 16:22 - 11 minutes - 21.5 MB

In this short clip, Moojibaba addresses a deeply existential question which many of us may have stood face-to-face with, 'Why did I need to come into this body in order to re-connect to the pure Self?' “It is a master game, a master play! How each one is in their own flow to try and find and all come to the same place, back where we started. It is full of marvellous, unexpected, brilliance — if you have the aptitude and openness to find it. In our life, God leaves little clues around to see ...

Mooji - Your Real Self Is Just Magnificent

January 07, 2019 16:21 - 32 minutes - 59 MB

This talk takes place one evening while Moojibaba visits the UK and meets with a small group of the London Sangha. Mooji dives straight into sharing the discoveries he has found in his heart from his own direct experience. "It is possible for every human being to wake up to our essential nature. Your real self, irrespective of what you have done, good or bad, is just magnificent. Your real self is far beyond your imaginary self or any idea you may have about who you are. It is not a person,...

The Invisible Monk — Stay As Awareness

January 07, 2019 16:20 - 18 minutes - 34.5 MB

“Stay in the natural awareness – just be with this. Gradually you see that your activities don't disturb this. It's like all this is happening in the immensity of Is-ness.” Moojibaba shares the funny story of 'the invisible monk' as a way to help us see what our attachments are that can seem to pull us back into the mode of personhood. Mooji speaks of trusting life and guides us back into the experience of our natural and timeless being. “Now you have discovered timelessness. You will come ...

Use the Light of 'I' to See Your Self

January 07, 2019 16:19 - 29 minutes - 53.4 MB

Moojibaba powerfully reveals the quintessence of his pointing in this Satsang. “The mind is inviting you from 'I' to take another step, and I tell you no, stop in this ‘I’. Be one with it, observe, feel. You may feel a lot of I-person coming up, so much relation, so much projection, so much interpretation. How will it serve you to wake up? The very thing itself is sleep, it is dreaming because you left your ‘I’. You used it as a switch to see the world, now you must use it to see yourself. ...

The Understanding That Showers Blessing Upon the World

January 07, 2019 16:18 - 22 minutes - 40.9 MB

During a retreat Satsang, Moojibaba reads some letters from online participants – the first letter starts with a deep urge to understand a question: "If 'I' as Is-ness is not the doer, how does it appear that things are done?" "The doer functions on behalf of the Is-ness - it is the Source. As the consciousness becomes more refined, the belief or the need to be an individualised doer of actions becomes less significant. It’s when we are still in the mode of a personal, choice-making self,...

You Are the Destination, the Journey, and the Awakening

January 07, 2019 16:17 - 29 minutes - 53.7 MB

"When I ask the question, ‘Can the perceiver be perceived,' it’s terrifying me." This finding is brought by a questioner to Moojibaba and we are invited to look at this together. The pointings deepen as a second questioner joins the conversation. The crystal-clear revelations and spontaneous utterances which follow serve our understanding and leave us as our quintessential nature. “When all forms are changing and changeful, all objects are interpretable, what is our common reference point...

God Is Infinite Awareness

January 07, 2019 16:16 - 21 minutes - 49 MB

This podcast offers a beautiful opportunity to be in silent sitting and prayer with Moojibaba. The guidance is immediate and simple and we find ourself in the deep silence of our true nature, resting as the pure consciousness of being. “It is the attention that bears witness that This is. May what we call our lives be in perfect alignment with you, Father. May our attention and minds never drift away from the glory of God. Let our conscious at-one-ment with God — let this be our life." 25 M...

The Seeker Becomes the Discovery

January 07, 2019 16:16 - 32 minutes - 44.5 MB

In this powerful and introspective talk, Moojibaba conducts a deep discussion about the phenomenon of perception, as he points us to a non-dualistic recognition. "This question 'can the perceiver be perceived?' is a very powerful question… it’s not a mental question. As you start to look, even if you start off mentally, your orientation begins to change. If you’re serious, it changes how you feel, the whole chemistry and psychology inside the body begins to change with this question. So w...

The Pure Joy of Awakening

January 07, 2019 16:15 - 55 minutes - 50.5 MB

Moojibaba has a spontaneous meeting with a devotee and these beautiful reflections and utterances emerge. "The perceiver and the Is-ness, they must be one, at a point. The Is-ness can only be perceived by Is-ness. When the attention is allowed to be guided through these pointers back to the first expression and prior to the first expression, some recognition happens in that second, but it's not of a thing. Something is deepening and at the same time, in this unchanging awareness. Somethin...

How Long Will It Take You To Come To Nothing?

January 07, 2019 16:14 - 15 minutes - 28.3 MB

In this short yet potent talk, two devotees come forward to speak with Moojibaba. Through the Master's wisdom and grace, we are encouraged and guided to make full use of the powerful questions that arise and we are shown that in dropping everything, a deep silence is evoked and our true being remains. “We have to sometimes come to a point where I can tell you, throw everything away right now. How long it will take? A blissful second.” Music: "Radhe Radhe Govinda" by Sam Garrett & Samadhi ...

Is Your Person a Fact or Fiction?

January 07, 2019 16:13 - 16 minutes - 29.6 MB

During a Sunday Satsang at Monte Sahaja, a father comes up and speaks to Moojibaba about the strong attachment he has for his child, and the distraction he feels it has caused from his spiritual life. "You love your daughter, this is totally righteous, but attachment is something else, and it's good that we don’t get mixed up about it, because it is a sort of neediness and it brings you into feelings of fear. Use the power of this attachment to find who exactly is attached any why. What is...

Mooji on Addiction – The Greatest Drug Is the Addiction to ‘I’

January 07, 2019 16:12 - 38 minutes - 71.1 MB

In this auspicious interaction, which takes place during the May Zmar Silent retreat, a questioner brings forth a sincere request to discover his true place as the Is-ness and to be free from ongoing addiction. During this podcast, Moojibaba guides us through both the 'Invitation' and a powerful guided inquiry, that deconstructs the addict identity and confirms the direct recognition into the Self. "The greatest drug of all is the addiction to the 'I' person. If there's an identity, there ...

The Thinker Itself Is a Thought

January 07, 2019 16:11 - 12 minutes - 23.8 MB

During a Sahaja retreat, a devotee confesses, "I found that the thinker doesn't exist." To this Moojibaba replies: "The thinker itself is a thought, but you must come to it profoundly. Identity is also a thought, ego is also thought. Don't collect any thoughts. Make use of them, stay empty. Observing each and everything passing, and even observing your observing of everything passing. It is finished. Mind can't provoke. There is no one to provoke. It's like thieves in an empty house." Ext...

There Is a Wealth in Poverty and a Poverty in Wealth

January 07, 2019 16:10 - 7 minutes - 13.8 MB

In this short podcast Moojibaba relates the story of the book of Job and talks of the wisdom of Solomon. "Sometimes you may find that you have nothing at all but that may turn out to be something very, very powerful for you." 5 November 2017 Music: "The Love for My Master" — Piano by Omkara

Expose Everything and Be Free

January 07, 2019 16:09 - 42 minutes - 78.5 MB

This podcast opens many doors through which self-inquiry can be approached. When one questioner exposes feelings of pride, Moojibaba offers this profound and direct guidance. "You begin your inquiry in the simplest way, and if you genuinely want to discover, Grace will come and help you to get better at the inquiry. It becomes a beautiful adventure to look, and in the power of your own looking all that is untrue collapses by itself. There’s a thief within, now you’ve caught it. Be grateful...

Wake Up Out of the Sleep of Personhood

January 07, 2019 16:08 - 26 minutes - 48 MB

A beautiful satsang emerges in which Moojibaba begins with clarifying about meditation techniques, and quickly turns the focus to the urge and power to awaken now. He offers some potent pointings and questions to contemplate that are pivotal to awakening. "Spirituality is only to wake up and to come back to your pre-birth awareness. Sometimes the questions are more powerful than the answers because they create opening and space for you to look. To overcome that limitation and that conditio...

"Can You Show Me God?"

January 07, 2019 16:07 - 14 minutes - 26.1 MB

"Can you show me God?", a seeker asks Moojibaba. The Master's response is direct. “Be totally empty even beyond the concept of emptiness, no interpretation from your mind. You don't see God because you keep remembering you. When you forget you... all there is, is He.” 10 October 2017 – "I and the Father, We Are One" by Bam Bhole Bhajans

Discover Your Self as Life — It Is Enough

January 07, 2019 16:06 - 21 minutes - 38.7 MB

From beginning to end, this talk is beautiful in its profundity and simple clarity. While being very, very funny, Moojibaba addresses the question of how to stop clinging to images and thoughts by showing the ridiculousness of belief and identification. "That is how you are going to face these mind attacks. You have to use them because if they don’t manifest, you don’t know they are there. It is only when you are identified as a person that you are behaving like a victim. But when you identi...

I Return Again, Like the Blossoms in Spring

January 07, 2019 16:04 - 32 minutes - 60.5 MB

'If you see the mind taking over your life, don’t worry. I cut off its root in a sacred way.’ In this podcast, we listen to a beautiful rendition of a poem by Rumi. Moojibaba goes on to speak about the poem and what it reveals for us, the deepest significance of Rumi’s words. "We have come to look in a new way that this one, the one who feels held by the mind, suppressed by the mind, is connected with the mind also, and is itself very changeful. It is not enough to think, ‘I got it'. Yo...

You Become That Which You Love

January 07, 2019 16:03 - 25 minutes - 47.2 MB

This beautiful podcast starts with Moojibaba reading a letter regarding how to continue one's spiritual practice in light of the Invitation. Moojiji approaches this with a powerful answer on the true meaning of spiritual practice. “If you love this Is-ness so much, your love cancels out that which is less. It's not that you are doing, doing, doing, and I am giving you a whole pile of things you have to tick off and do. Just your openness is needed, your earnestness to stay with This. This ...

Message in a Banana

January 07, 2019 15:59 - 18 minutes - 34.8 MB

During the One Sangha Gathering, a being comes to the microphone to share her fear of having no money and Moojibaba shares his own experience, which is followed by a powerful pointing of how to trust life. "Whatever way it turns out, it will be fine. So long as you are dedicated in your heart to the search for Truth and not determining in your mind, 'I do not want to work.' Don't make any premature conclusions about anything. Just stay open and be moment to moment with life because that's s...

You Break This Spell By Looking

January 07, 2019 15:58 - 24 minutes - 44.4 MB

In this potent and rich Satsang, Moojibaba guides us again and again through the powerful steps of self-inquiry, which leaves one empty of identity and confirms our true place as that which is unmoving. “Try to identify the one who is afraid. Use the energy of the fear and look at 'Who is the one who is afraid?' This is the most powerful question, rarely asked. In the very looking itself, see if it can be caught. See if the fearful one can be recognised. Take the steps and walk with them and...

The Door to Your Awakening Is Already Open

January 07, 2019 15:43 - 37 minutes - 68.8 MB

In this wonderful 30 Minute Podcast recorded during a Silent Retreat at Zmar, Moojibaba explores freedom - a great new way for mankind: Moojibaba explains what freedom is and why as a species we have not really moved so powerfully towards this goal of joy and unity as one family of humanity. Here, Moojibaba touches on some of the most crucial aspects of freedom as he describes it as simply the opportunity to come 'home' - not through a lot of practice or suffering or struggle, or spiritual ...

Anything in Life Can Become Your Teacher

January 07, 2019 15:41 - 11 minutes - 21.7 MB

In this interaction, one being reveals to Moojibaba that he had been experiencing his life as being very difficult. After reading a quote of Ramana Maharishi, hung on a wall in Monte Sahaja, his perspective of his life changed. Moojibaba reminds us that the words of the sages are "powerful hints for the one who is already attuned." "Anything in the life can become your teacher in that moment. Everything becomes like a little mirror to your beingness, everything reminds you again, brings yo...

An Invitation To Freedom ~ Monte Sahaja Retreat August 2017

January 07, 2019 15:31 - 37 minutes - 69.3 MB

Moojibaba presents a powerful yet simple exercise — An Invitation to Freedom. This distilled and direct guidance takes us directly into the recognition of our timeless Being. The Invitation is the very heart and essence of Satsangs with Mooji, having arisen spontaneously in Mooji after many years of guiding seekers of Truth. This guided seeing is supported by all of Moojibaba’s teachings, which help to clarify doubts and guide through any unexpected resistances that may arise. As such, it is...

"Help Me See the World the Way You See It"

January 07, 2019 15:28 - 10 minutes - 20.5 MB

'Guruji, please help me to see the world the way you see it, with your eyes.' From this earnest request of a devotee unfolds a beautiful Satsang where Sri Moojibaba reminds us how we love to be empty, how we love when the mind is not full of strategies, projection and desires. Life is taking care of itself and it flows beautifully when we give up the idea that we can do a better job! "The function of perception in you must be clean. Gradually if you meditate in the heart you will find that ...

Step Inside the Fire of Grace

January 07, 2019 15:21 - 13 minutes - 25 MB

“Whatever is not of the kingdom of God inside, of freedom, offer it up to the light — take it, let it burn. Be so empty and don’t take it personally, just let it burn out. What a joy behind this. That’s where you are trying to be, where you can be left alone and not molested by whatever it is that's interfering with your original peace. That's the work of Sahaja actually, it's not in planting trees only, it's to burn down inner forests. Plant outer trees, burn down inner forests. When I s...

Compelled to Change

January 07, 2019 14:49 - 5 minutes - 10.8 MB

"Some things come for you to look at them and to deny them. The easy way is that something in us wants to go along with that thing and that's a pointer in itself. You have a propensity toward a certain thing – that is the seed that is inside you, an energetic seed that is attracting that kind of vibration to come to you. But on the surface you're not consciously doing anything, these things just come to you. You may say that it happens within the permissive will of God – meaning that life of...

Blessed Are We That We Are Of His Kingdom

January 07, 2019 13:58 - 17 minutes - 31.9 MB

"I am presenting God here, not as a person, but as a field of Truth. When you genuinely are open and searching, then you see the glory of God very quickly, because your heart is in the right place. Every part of life comes from God. If, in the heart of tragedy, we can embrace each other and love each other, we can console and comfort each other, encourage, if we can heal, repent and forgive, repair in God’s name, that will be something. Blessed are we that we are of His kingdom. Blessed b...

We Are Not Good, We Are Perfect

January 07, 2019 13:56 - 24 minutes - 55.2 MB

Recorded in Monte Sahaja, Portugal 24 April 2017 A beautiful and intimate encounter takes places where Mooji Baba looks with one being into the nature of relationships, that which comes and goes, and that which is perfect and unchanged. “Actually we are not good , we are perfect. But we are not living life conscious of our perfection, we are living life identified with the sense of being a person, and thats where the sense of good and evil come. Nobody can be that good, consistently, you k...

The Same One Everywhere Is Here Inside Your Heart

January 07, 2019 13:55 - 11 minutes - 25.8 MB

In your earliest being there is no history or story, there is a space of neutrality behind all that plays out. Any frustration of personal energy is just a cloud and the one who thinks the cloud shouldn’t be there is also a cloud. Mooji points out how our true being doesn’t want anything. This one, is the same one who is everywhere and inside your own heart. Music: Om Namah Shivaya by Shivaratri Café from the album This Night We Will Not Sleep Recorded 1 April 2016

You Cannot Find What Is Perfect, Only Drop What Is Imperfect

January 07, 2019 13:53 - 10 minutes - 23 MB

In this short podcast Mooji talks about self-inquiry and the importance of listening and really understanding. He points out the difference between a clever mind and true wisdom, and uses a beautiful story about the Buddha to illustrate this point. "You cannot find what is perfect, you can only drop what is imperfect, this is called 'to drop sleep'. Learn from everything and awaken to your true Self." Music: Asatoma Sadgamaya by Radha from the album Sahaja Samadhi Recorded 7 March 2016

This Question Must Quench Your Thirst

January 07, 2019 13:51 - 22 minutes - 51.4 MB

"Joy and peace may come. This is the perfume of the Self. These are not to be rejected. Sometimes though even the most fragrant flower has no smell. The perfume is also perceived, the fact that it is perceived means it is another phenomenon, it is not stable, it can come and go. Enjoy but don’t say I am that. What watches the coming and going? Is that also coming and going? All is temporary. Now turn the attention away from looking at the objects of the senses, and turn it towards that whic...

You Are Already Smelling Victory

January 07, 2019 13:50 - 8 minutes - 18.7 MB

Moojibaba has a short spontaneous talk with a small group at Monte Sahaja in which there is French translation. He looks with one being who is seeking truth and finding fear come up while doing self inquiry. He points that all these things coming up, like fear, doubt or the sense of ‘not getting it’ are only sensations. “There comes a time when you are so singularly fascinated with coming to the end of all these little mysteries. It’s a wonderful state to be in, there’s a sweet tension, it...

It's Your Time to Wake Up

January 07, 2019 13:48 - 8 minutes - 19.2 MB

"My job in this life here with you is to remind you of this–to come to the place of the 'I am', the consciousness, which is not mixed up in all these things. It’s your time to wake up."

Wherever You Are, The Spirit of God Is There

January 07, 2019 13:47 - 9 minutes - 22.6 MB

“Wherever you are the spirit of God is there. Just allow it to do its thing. To push would be to go into your human thing. This is one thing that I want that we all come to gauge. Sometimes the energy can feel a bit flat, and we have no energy for some things, but if there is a 'you' going into it, you know it is wrong. Leave 'you' out of it. Don’t speak three sentences of untruth. Leave it immediately. Very often we are talking from the past. Can you come from this moment? Have you ever jus...

There's Only the Wholeness

January 07, 2019 13:46 - 7 minutes - 17.4 MB

"Prayer, surrender, inquiry, all are good. It’s important to put your attention inward. Ultimately you must merge your sense of separateness into the whole, There’s only the wholeness." Mooji points to help us see that the small roles or parts we think we play in life are just fractured ideas, he says “This position must be merged into total consciousness. Meditations help you to unform you. Spaciousness inside becomes tangible.” Keep bringing your attention into neutrality, boundaries fal...

How Does God See the World?

January 07, 2019 13:45 - 40 minutes - 93.2 MB

If God is love, why is there so much hate and selfishness in the world? Love has to start with you. Why be so afraid? Peace is not enduring when it is written on paper as a kind of treaty. It has to start from within. Your peace will touch the world a lot more than any propaganda will. If you met God, I wonder how you would see the world during and after such an encounter? Recorded in Rishikesh, India 25 March 2016 Music: Sangha ~ Bham Bhole

Look and See — Don't Defend Your Ego

January 07, 2019 13:44 - 33 minutes - 75.9 MB

Recorded on 12 June 2016 In Monte Sahaja, Portugal Know immediately when the person is speaking. Only the person will feel these types of feelings like, “where do I belong”? The person who suffers this cannot be found. It does not exist. Keep looking, and each time you look, you will see it is never there. Your identification with it strengthens the feelings of its reality. This just masks, the fullness of your already complete state. The ultimate state of Truth is here. Everything else is...
